This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few extra carrots or onions lying around, and they're perfect for adding to oats upma.

I recently tried making oats upma with quinoa instead of oats, and it turned out great! The quinoa added a nice nutty flavor and a bit of extra protein.
